Mixed Media

07/19/2013

Today I want to share a project that I made for a 3D swap I am doing with the fabulous Godivaswappers! I love working with mixed media so I was excited to try doing a little canvas with the Epic Day This and That DSP. To give some dimension to the cupcake - I punched 2 layers out of crumb cake, glued them together, and then a layer of DSP. After I put all of the parts and pieces together I sponged the edges. You can't see it real well, but I used the new Baked Brown Sugar ruffle stretch ribbon on the sides of the canvas.

I have been having a lot of fun with the new Remember This and That Rotary Stamp. You can see that I stamped "best day ever - July 19, 2013" If you are wondering why I chose that date - it is because today is my birthday!! I can't tell you how fun it is to celebrate my birthday when I am at convention. I am hoping Stampin'Up! will have some great presents for me and all of my friends today!

Today I have something really fun to share with you. A few months back I started attending a Mixed Media Art class which is so much fun! It is such a treat to go and create something completely different than anything I have ever done. I have been exposed to so many new products and mediums for creating art and it has been a fun adventure.

When the new mini catalog came out, I was really excited to see that Stampin'Up! added a few artisan type products and I could not wait to do something fun with them. This is a 12 x 12 canvas, and almost everything I used on this is from the new mini catalog. I have also put together a tutorial and a kit which includes almost everything you need to make the canvas. If you are interested in purchasing either of those - please send me a note at connietumm@aol.com and I will give you more information!

So here it is and trust me when I tell you - this is one of the most fun things I have made in a long time and it is even prettier in person - when you can see all of the different textures and dimension!

If you live in the Milwaukee area and are intersted in attending the Tea for Two Mixed Media class, please let me know and I will send you more information on the class! I will be doing the class on Saturday March 16th and Wednesday March 20th and this is open to customers and demonstrators. Don't miss out on a fun day of creating!!
